Vaginal Atrophy

Vaginal atrophy is thinning of the lining of the vagina. Condition is generally caused by low hormone, mainly estrogen levels in the vagina. Although this commonly starts in women in their 40s , there are other conditions that could trigger it earlier. Some of the symptoms may include:

Known protein C, protein S or antithrombin deficiency or other known thrombophilic, or essentially blood clotting disorders

Known or suspected pregnancy

Laser Vaginal resurfacing with the right essentially renews the vaginal mucosa and stimulates collagen production. This could potentially eliminate all symptoms related to vaginal atrophy.

In pictures below one could clearly see the changes and the thickening of the lining of the vagina after laser vaginal resurfacing:

Pretreatment:

60 Days Post Treatment:

The perimenopause patient histology above shows the vaginal mucosa before laser vaginal CO2 treatment stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&A) and 60 days following the treatment showing thicker epithelium and the filling of the ablated tissue having a healthy improved tissue that restored trophism and dynamics of the whole epithelium.
